Chapter 3: The Water of the Jackal

"Then I'll go first," said the mother, standing at the entrance of the elevator, with a smile, "and my son will leave it to you." ”

"No problem. Chen Hong waved his hand.

"Son, Uncle will give you some detailed examinations later, and your father and I will pick you up later, okay?"

Wang Chong nodded. He knew that his father had been waiting down there, and that he and his mother were going to dance together later—his mother hadn't been dancing in a long time since his own accident. Wang Chong is very happy that his recovery can allow his mother to return to her old life, and he is also trying to live, and he is living well.

But why didn't Dad come up with him just now?

"Lose weight, son," said Daddy, "and I'm not used to ordering food at the hotel." ”

Wang Chongke didn't believe that his father wanted to lose weight, since he started the company, his father's belly has become more and more round, and the bigger the company opens, the faster the belly will be rounded. If Dad said that he wanted to lose weight, it probably would be that the company would not be able to continue.

Could it be that Professor Chen and his father were rivals in love back then? Except for being a little old, everything else seems to be in line with the ......

Wang Chong shook his head, he should have been thinking too much.

"Can we go?" Chen Hong gestured.

"Oh okay," Wang Chong came back to his senses, "let's go." ”

"I'll ask again," Chen Hong said, "do you know why I saved you?"

Wang Chong couldn't answer, but he was not to be outdone, "There must be a purpose." ”

"Naturally, there is a purpose," Chen Hong was very calm, "Do you want to know?"

"Of course I want to," said Wang Chong, "and you don't say it." ”

"You want to know why you put a zipper on your mouth," Mr. Chen said, "and you clench your third left tooth." ”

"Grit your teeth?" Wang Chong thought that I was burned to the point that there were only teeth left, "bite." ”

"Biting?" Chen Hong wondered.

"Bitten. Wang Chong said.

"How do you speak?" Chen said.

"Uh......" Wang Chong thought, this is also true. I continued to clench my teeth.

Finally he cried, "My tooth was burned out too." ”

Chen Hong sighed, "The teeth are still there, it should be that the nerves around the gums are damaged." ”

Wang Chong walked with Chen Hong to the end of the corridor, he saw a guest room with the number "907" hanging in front of him, Chen Hong pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock in front of the door, and the door opened.

"Let's go. Chen Hong said.

Wang Chong followed behind with a bewildered expression.

//

Chen Hong led Wang Chong into a bookcase in the guest room, where he pulled a hovering python sculpture on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf spun up like in the movie, revealing the secret door behind it. The secret door is black as a whole, and many snakes are carved in the form of reliefs. There is a small hole in the middle of the secret door, and a bright green light shines through the hole.

"A green light indicates that the test is safe. Chen Hong said.

"Uncle, you...... Like to eat snakes?" Wang Chong held back for a long time before he said in a daze.

“……”

"Are you an agent, or a terrorist?" Wang Chong speculated.

"I said I'm just a scientist, do you believe me?" Mr. Chen said.

"I don't believe it. Wang Chong said. You've asked like that, and you've asked others how to answer.

"I'm really just a scientist. Chen Hong sighed. He glanced down at Xiao Kong, "Come in, kid." ”

Wang Chong saw the secret door slowly open, and the inside was ...... Another elevator.

"I don't want to go in. Wang Chong felt a little bad, but his mother left him here, and he couldn't run away directly.

Does Mom know these things about Uncle Chen, and if so, how can she be relieved to leave herself here alone?

"Does my mother know?" asked Wang Chong.

"I don't know. Chen Hong replied very simply.

"Then I won't go in. Wang Chong said and ran towards the door.

"Do you want to know how I saved you?" Chen said.

Wang Chong stopped. He guessed that some abnormal medical treatment must have been used. But what could it be?

"Speak. Wang Chong's mouth was dry.

"When you were sent here, there was not a single place in your body that was not boneless. Chen Hong said.

"What?" Wang Chong subconsciously touched his dick, which was always a bone in his consciousness.

"Your little brother," Chen Hong obviously saw Wang Chong's movements, "fortunately, there is only a slight injury, but after treatment, only the basic function ...... is retained."

"Basic function?" Wang Chong suddenly felt a chill in his back, "What is a basic function?"

"See for yourself. Chen Hong pouted.

Wang Chong looked confused.

"At that time, your whole body was burned to the core," Chen continued, "and it was even more ugly than now." ”

Wang Chong felt a little hurt, although he knew that he was ugly now, but it was more uncomfortable to say it from other people's mouths.

"I can't handle you with any normal medical treatment. Chen Hong said, "You need to understand me about this." ”

Although I heard my mother say that Professor Chen grew up in Russia and did not speak Chinese very well, Wang Chong always felt that this "treatment" was a bit strange.

"Understand, understand, understand. Wang Chong hurriedly replied, what if you don't understand?

"I was a colleague with your dad before, so I will help you. Chen Hong continued, "Your father knows what I have done to you, and he said as long as you can live." ”

"As long as I can live. Wang Chong repeated. He received too much information at one moment, and he hadn't reacted yet.

"I'm ostensibly a professor of physiology and a nationally renowned physiology expert, but I'm just a fool. Chen Hong bit his lip and smiled, "Just like in the movie, I'm an evil scientist." ”

Evil scientist? Wang Chong directly shook his head in his heart and made a negative statement. This look, this hair, it doesn't look like it.

"I've prepared a solution," Chen Hong pondered his words, in case Wang Chong didn't understand, "this solution can fix any organic tissue as quickly as possible, restricting its movement while maintaining its physiological functions." Deeper, it is actually a knot between the molecular chains of the organic structure. Can you understand?"

Wang Chong chuckled in his heart. Of course, he could understand that his father was originally a physiology researcher, and often taught himself some basic biology and chemistry at the dinner table. What Uncle Chen meant by this was that his skin was probably similar to that of a dead corpse now, and he didn't feel pain, nor did he feel anything like touch.

Wang Chong panicked.

"I call this solution 'jackal water'. Chen Hong said.

"Jackal water?" said Wang Chong, "Are you sure it's not formalin?"

"The jackal refers to Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology," Chen said, "Anubis is believed to be the son of Set and Nephthys, and after Seth killed Osiris, he gave Osiris's organs to Anubis, and Anubis assisted Isis in mummifying Osiris's body, so Anubis is also revered as the god of embalming." According to the Book of Necromancy, the book of the dead of the ancient Egyptians, priests usually wore jackal masks during funeral ceremonies made by mummies. ”

Wang Chong was stunned by the large number of names. "You say...... The god of embalming?"

Wang Chong felt that these people really had nothing to do, and they had to come out with a whole god for everything.

"The exposed skin of your whole body is fixed by jackal water, so that there are no infections and more problems. ”

"What about my organs?" Wang Chong asked, "If the skin is burned like that, all the organs should be broken, right?"

"I also used jackal water. Chen Hong said.

"How is that possible?" said Wang Chong aloud—but it seemed no different from not speaking out loud—"as soon as the organ is broken, the person dies immediately, what is the use of using this water?"

"Once an organ is destroyed, it will always fail. "All deaths due to organ damage are because the situation is getting worse, because you can't stop it, it's getting worse." And the jackal water directly put an end to this deterioration process. Everything you do is based on the state you were in before you were soaked in jackal water. ”

"Is this okay?" Wang Chong said in disbelief, "It is so easy to curb organ failure? ”

"Jackal water. Chen Hong said, "I think the meaning is very good." Anubis is both the god of death and the god of embalming. ”

"It's better to call it stagnant water," Wang Chong said, "and it's nice to listen to and remember." ”

"......" Although Chen Hong felt that something was wrong, he couldn't refute it, "Whatever you want." ”

"Fortunately, your organ damage was not very serious at that time," Chen continued, "otherwise even if you live, you may enjoy the pain of ten thousand ants eating your heart every time you breathe." ”

"Where did you learn this word? Wang Chongyi shuddered, "So my whole body stays in the current state, and it will never change again, right?"

"Yes. Chen Hong said.

Wang Chong looked at his dark red skin, touched the almost burned muscles on his chest, and although he was unconscious, he was still relieved in his heart. In any case, he survived with dignity, and fortunately, he didn't have a big belly like his father before the fire, otherwise he would really have to live in pain for the rest of his life.

"You're lucky compared to your friends. Chen Hong looked at Wang Chong meaningfully.

"What?" Wang Chong frowned—though no one could see his frown, or he didn't have a brow at all—"You're so annoying, isn't you, why didn't you save my friend?"

"Backwater is limited. Chen Hong said, "Who do you think I should save?"

Wang Chong obediently shut up. In that case, it is natural to save him Wang Chong, even now, let Wang Chong choose to choose by himself, will he choose to give up the hope of surviving and choose to save Fat Ding? Of course he hopes that Fat Ding will live, but that is to live together, if he must choose one person between two people, Wang Chong really does not know who he will choose.

"We're all going to choose that, that's what we do. Chen Hong walked into the elevator.
